A suspected robber involved in the theft of a transformer in the Kang’oki area,Thika town was shot and killed on Saturday morning by police.


The incident occurred around 4 a.m. when a gang of seven attempted to vandalize the transformer, having already disconnected power in the area.

The remaining gang members fled the scene, reportedly sustaining gunshot wounds.

Muchangi urged local medical facilities to report any patients seeking treatment for gunshot injuries, indicating a collaborative effort to track the escaped suspects.

According to Dominic Thuo, the Chief Security Officer for Kenya Power in the North Eastern region, the power supplier has faced significant losses due to transformer thefts, with an estimated 25 units stolen in Kiambu County over the past six months, valued at approximately Ksh.25 million.
